Does Angular 2.0 make this one weird trick unnecessary?
Angular 2 forces you to opt in to debug mode, as opposed to the Angular 1 mechanism of opting out.

Re: Improving Angular performance with 1 line of code
#12I'd like to see some data indicating there is actually an appreciable performance difference. Indeed, with only one line of code to add, the setup cost is low, but this article asserts a performance gain without any evidence.
The official Angular docs describe it thusly: You may want to disable this in production for a significant performance boost https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/provider/$compileProvider I'm inclined to believe the engineers who wrote the docs on this.
I'd be inclined not to believe even myself, had I wrote such a thing, without hard data. Even if I was right then, things may have changed. And just what constitutes significant, anyways?

#13I've searched a few minutes for any blog post or article which demonstrates the performance difference between turning this setting on or off, and I haven't found anything.
If you don't have a benchmark, you don't have a performance boost.

This article reminds me of those X Hate Him! ads.

#16Shouldn't debugging be something you opt-in to rather than opt-out of? Seems like a weird design choice
Django has DEBUG set to True by default, too.

#17Yeah, this is the hidden cost of not choosing sane defaults. If you're not sure what "sane" is, default to "most likely/common use case". It's good to hear this is changed to opt-in in Angular 2 though.

Yes, but it's a setting that you can see and are required to define, it's not a built-in constant that is True unless you define it to be False.

Since performance rarely matters and debugging usually does, doesn't seem totally crazy.
